the year and an important moment to align around the future of our industry. In the fall, our Legislative Roadshow will once again travel across Louisiana, bringing dealers and elected officials together to review the outcomes of the session and begin shaping priorities for the next cycle. These conversations are essential — they give lawmakers real insight into the challenges and opportunities you face every day. Also, this fall, our Charity Golf Tournament will bring members together in support of the NADA Emergency Relief Fund. As many of us know firsthand, natural disasters can have a profound impact on our communities. This fund provides critical assistance to dealership employees in times of need and continues to make a meaningful difference here in Louisiana. We’re also excited about the continued growth of our NextGen Dealer Program. In February, we hosted our NextGen Summit in New Orleans, where emerging leaders from dealerships across the state spent two days learning about LADA’s legislative priorities and the vital role advocacy plays in protecting our industry. The energy, engagement and commitment we saw from this group were incredibly encouraging. As we move forward, we will continue creating opportunities for these future leaders to connect, grow and take an active role in shaping the direction of our industry. If you or someone on your team would like to get involved, I encourage you to reach out to our staff. Many of you have also seen our #LADealersDoGood initiative on social media, highlighting the meaningful work dealers are doing in their communities. Whether it’s supporting local charities, sponsoring youth programs or stepping up during times of need, Louisiana dealers continue to make a lasting impact. I encourage you to keep sharing these stories — and to invite your elected officials to see that impact firsthand. YOUR INVOLVEMENT MATTERS As we look ahead, I encourage each of you to stay engaged. Attend events. Build relationships with your legislators. Stay informed on the issues that shape our industry. LADA is here to serve and support you — but our strength comes from you. Your involvement, your voice and your commitment are what make our advocacy effective and our industry strong. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. I look forward to working alongside you in the year ahead as we continue building a strong future for Louisiana’s automotive industry. 7
